I was mostly working from home today while waiting for Jelly to be spayed, but I also ran back over to JoAnn's and Michaels and stocked up on ribbons and nylon and hardware. Couldn't find the right kind of Easter ribbon to make Easter collars like I wanted, but found some ribbon with spring colors that will work to make into Easter collars. Pink and yellow plaid for the girls and yellow for Petey. :) Fun! :) But first I made another practice collar with Petey as my model. This one turned out a little bit better! But my stitches are still crooked, LOL! Ah well, I'm having a blast! :) Michael's had a sale on ribbon so I found all kinds of great deals and awesome ribbons! YAY!

The collar looks great to me! I don't see any crooked stitches, either. And Petey looks marvelous in plaid! :thumbs up Petey looks marvelous in everything! :flirt: Just no girly flowery stuff for the masculine boy, k? :o

That collar looks great and sewing looks real straight.

You have been practicing.soon you will be able to sell custom made collars.

Petey looks dashing in that collar.:cloud9:

Crooked stitches? Where? I think it looks fantastic!
If you ever decide to go into business let me know, I'd order two pink plaid and one blue plaid just like Petey's.
Awesome job!:thumbs up
